Crossroads Church in Oakley is donating a portion of the money it raised during its week-long fast to combat the heroin epidemic in the Tri-State.

Crossroads Church raised the money during a beans and rice fast. For a week in April thousands of Crossroads families ate cheap meals of beans and rice, tallied up their grocery and restaurant savings and collectively invested a total of $497,975.77 to world-changing organizations outside of Crossroads.
